A2G90 - The Files Are In the Computer Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

The Deepest of Deep Dives, this episode goes all the way into THE SUICIDE FILE. Underrated or well-loved? Punk or hardcore? Rock or roll? This band was a critical part of the hardcore landscape for many kids, despite only being active a few years. The band's place in the ecosystem is discussed by dudes not in the band, before singer Dave Weinberg gets on the horn and tells it straight from the horse's mouth. An episode for fans and the uninitated alike!

A2G87 - Goddamn Things Move Fast Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

Is HC moving faster than listeners can keep up with? Is there a right way to enjoy this? Does career trajectory of a band matter to fans or is that for absolute nerds? What role do GAINS have in making a thin man delusional? Is going viral a boon or a total nightmare? Do people say 'going viral' anymore? And the big question of the day: whose definition of a thing wins history?
